Forks...

While knives and spoons have such a venerable record that they cannot be attributed to any one place or time of origin, the introduction of the fork can be more definitely traced...The design of the fork is incredibly ancient. Large forks have been found in the archaeological remains of early civilizations, but they were used as weapons and not for eating. The fork as a weapon is well-known to everyone because of its association with such mythological characters such as Triton and Neptune and, of course, the Devil.
